The signs are all around us. It’s in the articles we read, the overall sentiment of the coffee-talk conversations you overhear, and at times so seemingly thick in the air we breathe. Past the glitz & glamour of pop-culture and the mindless control of mainstream media, there’s turmoil surrounding us. Injustice & oppression are everyday news and it’s something we see so much on a never-ending basis that we’ve become immune to it. Something has to change, and this collection embodies our stand. Join the OPPOSITION:

The “Opposition” collection will be available in the SHOP on Friday (12/2/16)! Sizes are limited, DON’T SLEEP!

Been a minute since we’ve been in a music video so I was stoked to be sent this one from across the pond. This clip comes to us from the homie DJAMHELLVICE out of Paris which some of you may know from his time in Providence. Big-ups for repping our long out of print Snapback! Please be sure to spread this video around, it’s a banger!

It’s been such a humbling experience running this brand for the last 7 years. One in which (time willing) I’ll hopefully get to elaborate more on later. Some of you that have followed along with the brand for years, may have started families of your own, or have been asking me to print on certain items that I’ve sorely neglected. Well rest easy. Although this is a small collection, it’s one I’m very proud of! Over the weekend, we had a lot of fun shooting myself and my daughter in & around our apartment. Without rambling on, let’s get to the reason you’re here! I give you, our 7-year collection:

I can’t believe that there’s just a few months left of 2016, what a crazy year it’s been! In hindsight, I wish I would have been a little quicker on the trigger with releases but it’s been hard, being a dad now as well as balancing a full-time job yada yada. While it may seem quiet around here with little signs of life on the blog, rest-assured I’ve been busy as hell behind the monitor. I’ve been finalizing our big Winter release, working on a new website (I know right, finally!), hashing out my 2017 plans and also bringing to print other drops before Winter hits!

On that note, 2016 marks my 7th year of running SP! To commemorate this accomplishment, I put together a small release bringing back an old favorite (with a new face) and 2 items I have yet to put out! Before we conclude, enjoy this little teaser:

Something for the little Proud ones…

FLAGS, yup!

I’m currently hashing out the release date but it’ll definitely be within the next 2 weeks, so stay posted!

Just a heads up that the SHOP will be down for a few weeks as I cruise to Canada for a much-needed vacation with the fam! Don’t worry though, I’ll be back around August 14th & there will be a HUGE sale on All remaining gear to follow, as we prepare for some new releases!

On that note, keep up with my travels on Instagram, Twitter & Snapchat (User: SPMVMT) as I’ll be updating frequently!

The message behind everything we do as a brand, has always been at the forefront of my creative process. This was one of my favorite releases to date and after taking a year off of new stuff, I wanted to put out a release that encapsulated the best elements of who we are! So now that the dust has settled, let’s dig a little deeper into the Anger collection:

Police Brutality

If we ever expect anything to change in our society, we must all collectively come together to highlight the issues that affect us, and act! How many stories must surface every day of law enforcement abusing its power or police departments covering up for their own employee mishaps at the expense of innocent lives? This is why I created this piece! Because without Justice, there can be NO PEACE!

Heavy-Hitters

One of my favorite movies over the last decade was Rocky Balboa. When I first watched it, I was going through hard times and one line in the movie stuck with me (.50 onward):

And as a fan of combat sports, I just had to make this piece encapsulating its message. So I hooked up with a badass tattoo artist & friend (Jeremy Damron) from Tampa and the rest was history!

ANGER

One of my all-time favorite bands growing up was Rage Against the Machine. They were in my eyes the first politically oriented group to take the mainstream scene by storm, and they did it in a way that did not compromise their ideals. I remember watching the video for “Freedom” (back when MTV actually played music) and hearing “Your Anger is a Gift.” That line stuck with me throughout my life & has been a pinnacle motivator in everything that I do, including starting this brand. If you can use Anger constructively, there’s NOTHING that can’t be accomplished!

Life’s Hard

It’s much too easy to wallow in your own self-pity then it is to actively change it! I’m so tired of seeing so many people bitch & complain about their lot in life, so this one was not merely a jab at them, but a reminder that if you want something, you better work your ass off to get it! Bc in the end, the reaper’s coming! This is another Hand-Drawn piece that I linked up with the very talented Nick Munster to bring to life.

Natural Born Skeptics

Truth is so convoluted these days. With so many differing points of view and the “facts” to back it up, it becomes crucial to keep a Skeptical open-minded view on any ideal you may be faced with. I made this one for those of us that take NOTHING at face value as it is truly at the heart of what this brand represents. Question EVERYTHING!

Anger is one of the most compelling forces for change. When internalized, it drives us to take hold of the reigns of this existence, to self-analyze and to act. Moving beyond the self, the pages of history are filled with countless examples of its commanding power. This is the essence of this collection. We’re living in turbulent times. Use Anger constructively, and there’s NOTHING that can’t be accomplished on a personal or social level!
